CHINESE  ART  j^^ 


THIS  outstanding  collection  of  old  Chinese  Art 
Objects  has  been  consigned  for  unrestricted 
public  sale.  It  was  formed  by  a  prominent  foreign 
official,  who  was  a  resident  of  China  for  seventeen 
years. 

It  embraces  a  variety  of  objects,  most  of  which 
are  rare  and  valuable.  Many  of  these  come  from  the 
collection  of  Monseigneur  Favier,  who  was  Bishop  of 
Peking. 

Among  the  most  notable  pieces  are  the  following: 
an  amethyst  color  pottery  vase  of  the  Sung  Period; 
a  Buddhist  funeral  vase  of  celadon.  Sung  Period;  a 
large  turquoise  blue  baluster  porcelain  vase,  Ming 
Period,  and  a  large  trumpet  shape  bronze  vase,  with 
various  archaic  letters,  of  the  Shang  Dynasty.  An- 
other of  the  particularly  interesting  features  of  this 
exhibition,  and  worthy  of  the  connoisseur's  attention, 
is  the  collection  of  Old  Chinese  paintings,  consisting 
of  Albums,  Makimono,  Kakemono  and  Screens  of 
various  sizes,  all  of  which  are  regarded  as  extremely 
fine.  It  is  not  believed  that  Chinese  paintings  of  such 
rarity  and  value  have  ever  before  been  offered  for 
sale  at  auction  in  America. 


928 


The  name  of  the  owner,  which  for  obvious  reasons 
cannot  be  publicly  advertised,  will  be  given  privately 
by  applying  to  the  Anderson  Galleries,  Inc. 

Every  piece  in  this  collection  has  been  carefully 
described  by  the  owner,  who  guarantees  every  date 
and  attribution  to  be  correct,  bearing  in  mind  how- 
ever the  following  quotation  from  the  article  on 
Chinese  Art  printed  in  the  catalogue  of  the  inaugural 
exhibition  of  the  Cleveland  Museum  of  Art: 

"If  there  is  one  point  connected  with  Ancient 
Chinese  Art  on  which  we  may  feel  reasonably  certain, 
it  is  that  there  is  hardly  one  on  which  we  are  justified 
in  being  positive.  From  Shang  bronze,  which  cannot 
be  later  than  the  Twelfth  century  before  Christ,  to 
Sung  pottery  which  cannot  be  earlier  than  the  Tenth 
after,  there  is  scarcely  one  subject  upon  which  it  is 
possible  to  be  sure  that  our  position  is  impregnable.''
